Trump's Mar-a-Lago trips have cost way more than Mueller investigation

One could say that Trump has been complaining about the investigation into his possible ties with Russia since the beginning of time. And while he can't be (or at least hasn't been) charged with anything specific yet, he's been found to have lied about his connections with Russians so, so many times that my head's about to blow. And although he hasn't been charged with anything yet, there's no doubt that if it wasn't Trump, but instead an average Jane or Joe (who probably voted for him), they'd have been in and out of courts for months already.

"A.P. has just reported that the Russian Hoax Investigation has now cost our government over $17 million, and going up fast. No Collusion, except by the Democrats!" Trump tweeted.

He's always shouting in twitter, talking crap about the Mueller investigation and how much money it costs while at the same time he's spending money on ridiculous stuff all of the time. And while Mueller has been working while getting that 17 million spent, no one can really say the same about Trump while visiting his own Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. Trump took his 17th trip to the property in April. Politico has estimated that the average cost to taxpayers is between $1 million and $3 million per trip.

Does anyone remember Trump's frequent shouts about Obama's golfing trips? At the same point of his presidency Trump's made 20 more trips than Obama. Of course Trump says that he uses the trips for work, but then again, he also claims not to watch any television.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai had to answer a bunch on different questions at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday. Among the people questioning him was Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) who asked Pichai for example why his 7-year-old granddaughter had seen a photo of the congressman with inappropriate language while playing a game on her iPhone.

While Trump would probably disagree with everything here, that's exactly what he did. Of course, he would probably say that he didn't fire anyone, but Sessions submitted his resignation letter himself. Which is true, but we all know how things like this are being done. He would also probably say that Session wasn't sent away because of the probe but because he was doing bad job in general. And, of course, he would most definitely lie about his own lies.

At least 60 British business leaders have signed a letter calling for a second Brexit vote. The letter that was published in the Sunday Times has signatures from James Daunt (Waterstones book store), Mark Selby (Wahaca restaurant).

There is a popular saying among people who like guns - guns don't kill people, people do. But that might not be so true after all. According to a recent study, 8300 KIDS end up in the ER each year in the United States due to gun-related injuries.
